Interstate 195 (abbreviated I-195) is a 4.91-mile (7.90 km) spur expressway connecting Interstate 95 (its parent route) in the west with Miami Beach in the east, crossing Biscayne Bay by traveling over the Julia Tuttle Causeway, named after Miami founder Julia Tuttle.

It is part of the longer State Road 112, which continues to the west as the Airport Expressway and to the east as Arthur Godfrey Road.

Route description

Interstate 195 begins at the eastern end of the I-95 and SR 112 interchange, heading east with interchanges with Miami Avenue and US 1 before heading to the Julia Tuttle Causeway, where the interstate crosses Biscayne Bay. At the eastern end of the causeway in Miami Beach, it has an interchange with SR 907 before terminating at Arthur Goodfrey Road, just west of SR A1A.

History

On December 23, 1961, three signed roads along the route of SR 112 were opened: the 36th Street Tollway (now the Airport Expressway), Interstate 195, and SPUR Interstate 195, along with a stretch of I-95 in Miami. Spur Interstate 195 was the surface portion of the east–west state route along Arthur Godfrey Boulevard in Miami Beach, connecting I-195 and SR A1A east of the causeway. The Spur I-195 signs disappeared from the road shortly after the designation was decommissioned by the newly formed United States Department of Transportation in the late 1960s.
